I believe Suspension Techniques has them. I saw them many years ago, they probably still do.

EDIT: Yup. In fact, this article is from a very old issue that I have in my bookcase: http://www.superstreetonline.c.../3334/

You're out of luck then. Buy air bags if you want to go lower.

If you are using regular dampers with a fixed perch or coilover sleeves (and not threaded-body dampers), you could try cramming the damper down into the fork as far as it will go. Details on how to do this properly can be found here:

They are the same length, but have smaller diameter. The EF dampers themselves are shorter.

Go the other direction, use the GC upper mounts to keep your travel and just lower further.
